"CIA propaganda"

While I get what your saying, I do think 3D printers reduce waste as they allow people to fix there own stuff

Why wouldn't it be

It can be a pain to manage but it works well once it is setup

Just make sure it isn't your only line of defense

There are a few privacy focused standards in the works

Because mass surveillance is bad? I don't want my printer to send everything I print to private companies

Even if you are somehow ok with the surveillance, there are still issues with copywrite. I'm pretty sure it would be pretty easy for some large company to seal ideas or to prevent you from making replacement parts for stuff that you bought and paid for

You can't use a 3D printer to make a working gun and it isn't possible to distinguish a gun from anything else.

This is security theater that hurts the general public and small businesses while giving yet more power to the wealthy

You currently can not fully 3D print a gun

Even if you could, distinguishing a gun from everything else is impossible. This is more about people using 3D printing for right to repair

The bill is sponsored by a company selling gun detection technology

This is stupid easy to bypass plus you still need metal parts to make it work

Guns are actually really easy to make and can be assembled from parts found at a local hardware store. If you want something fancier you could even mill a gun out of metal

Not that is matters as this law has zero impact on guns
